I finally got brave and did this yesterday. I carefully didn't water the croton for a few days, so it was really dry before being repotted - and lo and behold, all five rootballs separated with minimal fuss, and I didn't have to cut anyone off!
I kept the biggest two together, the middle two together, and the smallest one got its very own pot.
It has lost all its leaves (big ones were shading it out) so I'm hoping it makes it. The four big ones are looking very happy, though - and the biggest ones no longer fit on my desk, so I'm going to have to get a stand or something for them.
